Circularly Serrated Aperture for Beam Apodization

There is a high demand for beams with uniform irradiance profile (flat-top beams) in various industry sectors. It is also known that light sources with a flat-top profile are more prone to develop diffraction ripples after propagation. In this demo, we seek to tackle this challenge by introducing a serrated beam apodizer. Beam apodization plays a key role in the design of high-energy laser systems and beam delivery.
